[Chapter 167: Taoism and Martial Arts]
Li Chun chose fire.
What he learned in the Qingling Pavilion was the Fire Dao Method. The most common Dao method of Mitian Shijie is the technique of fire spirit, which releases flames with one finger, of course, as the cultivation deepens, the more heaven and earth yuan power can be induced, this flame may slowly develop into a fireball. The fire secret technique obtained from the Dao book obtained from the waste old man is slightly stronger than the fire spirit technique, and the flame formed can be larger, so the score of this exam can provide a lot, which is enough.
Sure enough, the examiner didn't talk nonsense with him, but just asked him to release a fire spirit technique, Li Chun nodded, recited a spell in his mouth, and made a spell, in fact, he had quietly transported the fire secret technique.
Boom!
The charcoal basin placed in front of the examiner suddenly burst into a three-foot-high green flame, snorting, almost burning the eyebrow of the examiner on the left, startling him.
Li Chun didn't expect the momentum he made to be so big, so he quickly withdrew his hand!
He hadn't spent much time practicing this method, but he didn't expect to improve so much unconsciously, which made him complacent.
"By the way, the old man said that my qualifications for learning the Tao are better than learning swords, and it's really good!"
The two examiners glanced at each other, and they were secretly surprised.
"You stand down first!"
They picked up the burned ashes in the charcoal basin, looked at the light, nodded slightly, and let Li Chun leave.
"Brother Liu, I didn't expect that this Li Chun was not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also in the realm of Taoism, this kind of talent, but I haven't seen it for a long time. ”
"Yes, you can step into the subtle realm without systematically learning the Dao Law, if the Dao Palace learns about it, I'm afraid it will also be interested in recruiting, right?"
In the government examination, there are not no candidates of this level, but they are generally specialized in the Dao method. Preparing to take the path of a Taoist priest in the future, a civilian like Li Chun, who is famous for his sword and is even qualified to participate in the Cold Dew Society, has such a cultivation in the Dao Law, that is, it is unique!
He will pass this game with a high score.
Li Chun confidently returned to the room. Calm down and recharge.
Tomorrow is the third exam, which is the most critical.
- Take!
In the first two games, of course, a group of people will be eliminated, but as long as most of the candidates have made sufficient preparations, it is not too difficult to pass these two games, and the key to deciding whether they can be admitted or not is still in this third martial arts test.
Those who participated in the imperial examination were all civilians. At Li Chun's age, there are only a few people who can compete with him, but the imperial examination can be participated in under the age of forty-five, and among those who are a few years older than him, there are still many people who are not weak.
"Whether you can come out or not depends on tomorrow!"
In the room, Li Chun stroked the Mo Poison Sword, his eyes burning. In the dark night, it shines like a star.
"Real person, the first reading of the first session of the government exam. It's over. ”
On the same night, in the city lord's mansion, the eldest grandson Xie respectfully spoke to a black-clothed Taoist, and there was even a bit of flattery in his tone.
"Hmm!"
The Taoist priest nodded, and in the darkness he saw his white hair and red eyes, and his appearance was very strange.
"Zuihou a question. How many people got it right?"
The eldest grandson shook his head with a wry smile, "Real person, your question is really a bit difficult, among the thousands of candidates, you can mention the battle of the Gate of Huangquan." There were only nine of them, five of whom didn't make sense at all, only three of them got it right, and one ......"
He paused, his face was strange, "This person's words are very novel, and the examiner can't even judge right or wrong." ”
"Oh?"
The black-clothed Taoist priest was stunned, "It's not bad to have three people answer correctly, but how can anyone have a new understanding of the Yin and Yang Rebellion?
"Yes!"
The government examination is strict, and the examination papers will be sealed immediately after they are handed in, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for them to be circulated outside, even if the city lord himself, if he wants to read the file, he must have some scruples, but this Taoist priest opened his mouth, and the eldest grandson Xie who was the son of the city lord seemed to take it for granted, and he agreed, and turned around and arranged for someone to go to the examination room to produce the examination papers, but half a pillar of incense kung fu, someone sent it.
The Taoist priest took the exam paper, swept it slightly, and shook his head at first.
"That's not a good handwriting!"
This candidate's answer is detailed, almost every blank space is full, there is nothing wrong with silent writing, the handwriting is actually not ugly, but it is by no means good-looking, this era is heavy on martial arts and light literature, calligraphy is no longer the standard of consideration, the average person is able to write neatly, it is enough.
The Taoist priest frowned, his eyes still turned to a question about Zuihou, and when he saw the answer, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Yin and Yang Rebellion, there is such a solution?"
His red eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he gently shook the exam paper in his hand, and solemnly placed it on the table, silent for a long time.
"Real people, real people?"
After the eldest grandson sent the exam paper for a long time, he didn't see the Taoist priest reacting, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and urged softly.
"Hmm!"
The Taoist priest opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and suddenly reached out to peel off the paste seal on the name of the exam paper.
The eldest grandson just smiled bitterly, this is another taboo thing, if he is found by the imperial examination inspector sent down by the county, he, the eldest son of the city lord, will not be able to eat and walk around, but who dares to stop this person?
Li ...... Chun?"
The Taoist priest read out the candidate's name, and the eldest grandson was stunned for a moment.
"Li Chun!"
In the examination room, the examiner called Li Chun's name.
It was dark, and all the seats in the examination room had been withdrawn, and only sixteen rings were lined up in a box, and a group of examiners were guarded by each ring, and the candidates whose names they had called were obediently lined up behind them.
The third exam has officially begun!
The content of the examination is still divided into two parts: "theory" and "battle".
The first part of the sword discussion is that each candidate comes to the stage to demonstrate swordsmanship, and the examiner under the ring scores it will score as a reference for the score of this exam.
The second part is the challenge!
Of course, this is different from simple sword fighting, the main thing is to show the subtlety of your swordsmanship, so as to impress the examiner, and it is not important whether you win or lose.
There are seventy or eighty candidates in each ring, as a group. For the same group of candidates, everyone has a chance to challenge. Each challenge is limited to Shihe, regardless of whether the winner or loser is divided, it must be over, and the examiner still adds or subtracts the score at his discretion, and after all the challenges of Zuihou are completed, Zuihou gets the score of this Zuihou.
Generally speaking. As long as you can be within ten in the martial arts exam, as long as you pass the other two papers, you will almost definitely be hired.
However, because they were divided into 16 groups, candidates do not know the situation of the other groups, and even if they win the first place in this group, they may not be able to ensure the top 10, and they still have to do their best.
Li Chun was in the fourteenth group, and his position was slightly forward, and it didn't take long for him to play the sword.
"You're Li Chun?"
The chief examiner in the ring is a middle-aged man with a serious face. His gaze turned to the Mo Poison Sword on Li Chun's waist, but his expression became more severe.
"Don't think that if you participate in the Cold Dew Meeting, there is something great about you, this official exam is fair, if you don't perform well and insult the sword given by the city lord, it will also degrade you, you can listen well!"
"Yes......"
Li Chun was a little confused, and he didn't want the examiner to come up and be unceremoniously. actually scolded him first.
In the martial arts test, the rules are not so strict. The examiner has great authority, but generally speaking, it is not deliberately aimed at someone, and it is a bit strange that this middle-aged examiner puts on a prestige for no reason.
Probably thinking that what he said was a little excessive, the examiner coughed and shook his head.
"That's right. Come on stage!"
Li Chun stepped into the ring at the order, took a deep breath, was not disturbed by foreign objects, gently pulled out the Mo Poison Sword, and shook slightly. Just listen to the buzzing sound and turn into a cloud of sword light!
The brow of the ring examiner slowly furrowed.
"Civilians who can participate in the Cold Dew Meeting, the swordsmanship will not be too weak, seeing that Li Chun is calm, he will not play well on the spot, and I don't know who Meng Zhuangsheng found to deal with him?"
He had already accepted a large bribe from Meng Zhuangsheng - this money was used to ensure that Meng Tong could pass the test, who knew that he died before the scientific examination, Meng Zhuangsheng was sad, but he didn't want to waste this investment, but instead sent an extra sum of money, begging the examiner to find a way to get Li Chun down!
He must not be allowed to pass the imperial examination.
Originally, the examiner didn't dare to accept casually, after all, Li Chun was able to participate in the Cold Dew Meeting, and his strength was there, if he insisted on deposing him, he couldn't afford it.
But Meng Zhuangsheng asked for it, and promised that in the midst of the challenge, he would find someone to disrupt the situation, as long as he could take care of one or two and not ruin his plan, the main examiner reluctantly agreed.
After receiving money from others, of course he would not have a good face for Li Chun, and he came up with a harsh scolding.
I never thought that Li Chun had a calm state of mind, and he didn't eat him at all, and in the ring, he promoted the peach blossom swordsmanship with the realm of swords and demons, and he had no distractions, and he actually pushed this swordsmanship into a new world.
"Wonderful!"
There are countless changes in each style, and when they are cast in the ring, they are seen to shake and fall, just like the petals of flowers, the falling flowers are colorful, and the sword light is dazzling and exquisite.
"This Li Chun's swordsmanship has gone to the next level!"
"I didn't expect that in just two months, he created a new swordsmanship!"
"The sword intent is so graceful, a talent and fame should be steady!"
The rest of the examiners exchanged opinions in private, and some even exclaimed in a low voice, but the face of the chief examiner in the ring became more and more pale.
This kind of swordsmanship is already considered a good hand among the candidates, even if there is a master hidden in it, if you want to kill him quietly, I am afraid that it will not be so easy, and then I will have to bear a little relationship.
"That's it, for the sake of the face of the 10,000 taels of silver......
The examiner clenched his fists.
After Li Chun's three-style drill, including the candidates in the audience, they couldn't help but cheer in unison, causing the other people in the ring to look over here, not knowing what was going on.
The chief examiner in the ring pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile, and reluctantly encouraged him two sentences - Li Chun's performance really made him impeccable.
Not far behind Li Chun, Zheng Dalang's face became more and more cold.
This kid is so powerful?
Although the information he got from Meng Zhuangsheng had made him dare not underestimate this teenage boy, he didn't expect that his swordsmanship would reach such a realm.
"Looking at the spicy and subtle swordsmanship, I can't imagine that he is still a teenager!"
"When you deal with him, you have to go all out!"
A murderous aura gradually appeared on his face, and his gaze at Li Chun became more and more fierce, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, waiting silently. (To be continued......)
